More than 53,000 outlets across the UK have so far signed up to the UK Government’s Eat Out to Help Out Scheme, including dozens of local businesses here on the Isle of wight.
The official Government online finder is now available to help diners locate them, with over 70 outlets listed as being within 5 miles of Ryde alone.
As Eat Out to Help Out stickers and posters start to appear in the windows of restaurants, cafes, bars and other establishments across the country, customers who want to take advantage of the scheme are advised to look out for the logo.
The logo means diners that eat-in will benefit from a 50% discount, up to a maximum of £10 per person, on food and non-alcoholic drinks, any Monday to Wednesday in August – and no voucher is required. Diners can take advantage of the offer as many times as they like during the month.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak said:
“Our restaurants, cafes and bars play a vital role in our economy, employing more than a million people. They have been hit hard by coronavirus, so it’s vital we do everything we can to help them recover.
“Our Eat Out to Help Out scheme is designed to get more customers through the door – protecting jobs by giving businesses the confidence to retain and hire staff. More than 53,000 businesses across the country have already signed up, and from today you’ll be able to find one near you with the online finder.”
Don’t risk it. Safer and STILL cheaper to eat at home. Unless you like to be fed through a tube.
Don’t be a mentalist hysterical big girls blouse
URGED TO LOOK FOR OUT FOR THE LOGO! Can’t even get the heading right.
Use it or lose it!
If you don’t support local businesses then they will sadly dissappear and the jobs that rely on it. No one wants to see more empty shops on our highstreets or more failing businesses.
Risk is relative and a part of everyday life. Crossing the road is a risk which I suspect carries higher odds of a bad outcome right now than catching Covid given the current admittance rate locally.
Clearly it is all about choice and risk.
Whilst those with vested interests will of course try to encourage others to eat out, to understandably protect their jobs and their income, those of us who only have more risk from doing so, and more expenditure, not profits, will see things very differently.
Whilst we all know we have to take risks, by going to work in jobs that matter, eating a meal out, IF you live here, is not essential, and the very FACT the Gov are giving discounts PROVES to me there is risk in doing so, otherwise they wouldn’t ‘need’ to.
People don’t ‘want’ to hear bad news, so, the upbeat, ‘we are getting back to normal’ will win this, but then watch CV numbers rise as they have in Spain etc.
Can’t have it both ways, so, imo, IF you can eat as well, often far better, for cheaper at home, DO SO.
If you are lazy, and just want to impress friends with a photo of a plate of expensive food, to make them jealous, then do it, but remember to take a selfi a few months later in a ward. See how ‘impressed’ they are then.
Drivel, PURE drivel.
Yes that’s what you write
I work on building site mate, no vested interest here other than not wanting tumble weeds blowing down empty high streets where unemployed people search for scraps of food. (Dramatised on purpose).
Government stimulus is a good thing, you’d only moan if they did nothing.
Many of us haven’t been out since March and are fed up with eating in ie shopping cooking clearing up etc and deserve a meal out and if the government are going to partly fund it I will definitely be going! All restaurants are following the guidelines or they wouldn’t be open and god knows they need the business or some will never get back on their feet.
Enjoy!

I would sooner eat at home, as NO NEED to eat out. Hence Gov paying us to do so, as they KNOW it is a risk.
